LABS optimizes data processes from UNIQA Capital Markets

With the introduction of labs.DWH, UNIQA Capital Markets (UCM) receives a powerful data warehouse to drive data analysis. The solution developed by LABS, enables the Austrian company to generate flexible reports.

labs.DWH is a data warehouse where all data sources are merged. It was developed especially for the financial industry. Specifically, asset managers and insurance companies are offered a basis for stable processes. Moreover, labs.DWH enables flexible connectivity for additional reporting- and analysis modules, such as scenarios and What-if Analysis.

The implemented labs.DWH at UCM is complemented by the workflow manager labs.FLOW. This way, the company secures complete automatization and monitoring of the entire data import and data transformation processes. The integration of various LABS products minimizes the process costs for UCM while it simultaneously increases data quality.

“The new and manifold analysis possibilities were crucial for us. As a result, we continue to optimize Asset Management as well as the decision processes,“ says Dr. Andreas Bertl, Managing Director at UCM. “In parallel, we replace individual evaluations by means of standardized reports and processes.“

Efficient work processes and higher data security - there is a further company by UNIQA Insurance Group that benefits here: With the support of labs.DWH and labs.FLOW, UNIQA Real Estate will deliver complex future requirements in the analysis- and reporting area.
